Bali Herbal Walk And Herbal Class

Enjoy a leisurely walk in the countryside while learning about the natural herbs that grow in the wild and then further your understanding in a classroom before enjoying lunch at a local restaurant. A local guide will point out the various herbs and medicinal plants and describe their uses in Bali’s traditional culture. You may see plants such as hibiscus and ylang-ylang, whose flowers are crushed together with aloe vera to add fragrance to natural shampoos and cosmetics. Other beneficial plants grow wild along the borders of Bali’s expansive rice fields, which are known as sawahs. Depending on where you walk, you may see lemon-scented citronella that repels insects, root vegetables such as cassava and cat’s whiskers, an herb that locals use to treat respiratory ailments and high blood pressure. Many of the plants just blend into the landscape, and you would probably never notice them without the guide’s help. The class that follows will add nuances to your understanding of these natural plants.
